Learn a variety of lettering styles perfect for signs, invitations, journaling, and so much more! Purposeful choices in lettering can help convey meaning beyond just the words themselves. Letters can be made with straight lines or curvy lines, be wildly embellished, adorned with leaves and flowers, made to attract a child's fancy, or to invite you in. They can be made to sell coffee, baked goods, and sandwiches, or to embellish stories and personal messages. There is so much to say, and with the 67+ lettering ideas in this book, you'll have inspiration at your fingertips for whatever message you want to send. The first chapter introduces the tools and materials that will help with your success. Later chapters demonstrate techniques for different writing implements and provide instructions for how to use each to create a variety of fonts and styles. Finally, the last chapter shows you how to set your type, creating evenly spaced letters of the same size in the space allotted. Practice with the alphabets taught in this book and then use what you've learned to develop your own fonts!
